Full-art promos arrive.

Black & White was the era that brought edge-to-edge frames online, signalling the modern visual reset. "Promo" stopped meaning compact holo here and started meaning format-defining variant. Event distribution first crossed video-game and TCG cleanly.

• Reshiram-EX and Zekrom-EX: first full-art black-star promos
• Genesect Wi-Fi event paired a Black 2/White 2 cartridge download with a TCG promo
• Movies 14 (Reshiram & Zekrom) and 15 (Keldeo) seeded the mid-range chases
• Worlds 2011-2013 staff stamps mark the era's competitive-pedigree tier
• Promo print quality started rivalling main-set production around the middle of the run
